It is an estimated that there are 80 million unused mobile phones in the UK. As part of the Homes for Phones campaign, being supported by HR magazine, London homelesness charity Broadway receives a donation of between £3 and £30 for each mobile phone donated.
Broadway’s Rebecca Sycamore said: "The money raised from the campaign will help fund our work with homeless people in London, helping them to find and keep a home and supporting them into training and work.
"As well as phones, employees can also recycle empty inkjet cartridges in the boxes. Companies can also help by becoming commercial sponsors for the campaign."
To order a donation box or envelope contact the Broadway fundraising team by phoning 020 7710 0576, or emailing fundraising@broadwaylondon.org.
Further information on the campaign is available on Broadway’s web site at www.broadwaylondon.org or www.facebook.com/broadwaycharity.
Last year Broadway helped 4,327 people start the journey from living on the street to finding a home.
The charity works mainly with single adults – not directly with children or families – but individuals who have often led difficult, lonely and turbulent lives with less access to support.
